Kentucky does not have automatic expungement of criminal convic- tions. An individual must file with the court of charge/conviction to obtain an expungement. In Kentucky, most misdemeanors and class D felonies are expungable. This program will provide an overview of current Kentucky law and the process for filing and representing an individual seeking expungement. Speaker: Miranda J.

Kleier, Karem & Kleier MESA One-Hour Ethics MESA One-Hour Ethics You’re a Lawyer, Not a Fighter: The Ethical Imperative to Remain Peaceful at All Times Wednesday, May 8 Lawyers serve a vital role in society—to help others resolve their disputes peacefully. And while lawyers do so using the adversarial process, we must not ever lose sight of the fact that we are not “fighting” for our clients. We are striving to help them reach a peaceful solution to their problem. Sadly, quite often, lawyers get so hung up in the confrontational manner of depositions, cross- examinations, contract negotiations and the like, that we develop a “fighting” mentality. This mentality does not serve the best interests of our clients, nor does it serve our personal or professional interests.

It provides an orderly way to process and hold responsible people who commit these heinous acts. But does the process always work? Do the innocent get convicted? Do the guilty go free?
